Several times a year my store manager instructs every checker to ask customers for donations for various causes. They are very good causes and the money our company collects goes to help many people. If your checker asks for a donation it is perfectly okay to respond in one of two ways-
1. "Why, yes. I would like to make a donation today."
2. "No, thank you. Not today."
These are some ways you do NOT need to respond to the request for a donation-
1. "You guys are always asking for money."
2. "Every time I come here you guys are asking for money."
3. "I wish you wouldn't always ask me for donations."
4. "I am so tired of you asking me for a donation."
I know it may be hard to believe, but we are not always asking for donations. We have fundraisers 4 times a year and it is a requirement of our job that we ask every customer if they would like to donate. A REQUIREMENT OF OUR JOB.
Also, we see hundreds of customers a day and we don't remember if we asked you already, so just suck it up and prepare to be asked again. Simply answer yes or no.
Nothing personal, okay.
And thanks for your donation today! :)
